The experts from China were absolutely fuming with rage. How formidable were they? They truly stood at the peak of the world. Yet now, they were being looked down on and treated so flippantly by a group of assassins. How could they possibly tolerate this?
Just as they were about to rush out for individual duels, Zhang Bin took a step forward. Brimming with murderous intent, he shouted, "I’ve just cultivated to the Initial Stage of the Golden Core Realm. Let soone else in the Golden Core Realm step forward. We’ll fight one-on-one, to the death. Do you dare?"
He had advanced to the Initial Stage of the Golden Core Realm so quickly that his foundation was sowhat unstable. Therefore, he needed to engage in more life-and-death battles with experts of the sa level to rapidly grasp his true abilities and consolidate his realm. In this day and age, however, finding a true opponent for a fight to the death was no easy task. Perhaps the only opponent Zhang Bin could find was Si Yangze, but Si Yangze was afraid that Zhang Bin possessed a powerful magical treasure and didn’t dare accept the challenge.
The woman with the Golden Mask sneered with disdain. "Anyway, you’re all just turtles trapped in a jar today. There’s no chance for you to escape, nor can you call for reinforcents. Let’s have so fun with you. It’s been many years since I had a good fight; I’ll indulge myself today. Who among you will go and capture Zhang Bin alive for ? To warm the fairies’ beds?"
She was right. Zhang Bin had no way to contact the outside world, as even Tutu was unable to establish any communication. This was the Earth Core, where all signals were completely blocked. This was also why Tutu had been unable to investigate the situation down here earlier. The Black Bell Leader’s sches were truly formidable. Now, she just wanted to play a ga of cat and mouse. Killing them imdiately would be far too boring.
Many of the beautiful female assassins wearing silver masks were eager for a chance. However, a male assassin leaped out at top speed. A sharp battle-axe appeared in his hand as he sneered viciously, "Zhang Bin, I’ll take care of you."
His code na was S97, and he had cultivated to the Mid-stage Golden Core Realm. Naturally cruel and depraved, he had always coveted the fairies, hoping to one day gain their favor and beco their male pet. However, all the fairies were surprisingly interested in Zhang Bin, simply because he had a large "asset." This was sothing S97 could not compete with. Therefore, his aim wasn’t to capture Zhang Bin alive, but to kill him outright and eliminate a huge rival.
He was one hundred percent certain he could kill Zhang Bin. After all, he was at the Mid-stage Golden Core Realm and was close to breaking through to the Late Stage. Zhang Bin, on the other hand, had just reached the Initial Stage of the Golden Core Realm. Being so young, his realm was certainly unstable, and his combat strength couldn’t be very strong. Such a gap in cultivation was simply insurmountable.
"What’s your code na?" A flying sword suddenly appeared in Zhang Bin’s hand. It wasn’t Blood Fang, but a lower-level magical treasure.
"You’re about to be a dead man, so you don’t need to know my code na," S97 declared, his voice thick with killing intent.
"You dare to kill ? Aren’t you afraid your Holy Mother will have you executed?" Anger flickered across Zhang Bin’s face. He had originally wanted to learn the man’s code na and look up his real na to see if he could be saved. He hadn’t expected the man to be too far gone to rescue.
"So you just have a big ’asset,’ huh? Let tell you, mine isn’t small either! It’s definitely not inferior to yours," S97 retorted stubbornly. "And my abilities are in no way weaker than yours. If I kill you, why would the Holy Mother possibly bla ?"
He was brazenly recomnding himself, trying to attract the Holy Mother’s attention. He had, after all, longed for the Holy Mother’s favor for many years, but to no avail. Once a man was favored by the Holy Mother, his status would soar, and the other fairies might take an interest in him as well. It wouldn’t be impossible for him to win over one of them. Each of the Seven Fairy Maidens was as beautiful as a Heavenly Immortal. It was just a sha that the most beautiful of them had already fallen.
"So you’re just an idiot. Trying to pass off a toothpick as a cannon is just disgraceful," Zhang Bin shot back. "The Holy Mother surely won’t bla for killing a fool like you."
"Hahaha..."
The cultivators from China found Zhang Bin’s remark so amusing they couldn’t help but roar with laughter. Even Zhang Xue’s face turned crimson with embarrassnt, but her passionate gaze remained fixed on Zhang Bin, unwilling to look away. A smile also blossod on Master Xueyin’s face, like an iceberg thawing, making her look especially beautiful and captivating.
Even many of the Black Bell assassins had to turn red in the face, struggling painfully to suppress their laughter. The woman in the Golden Mask and a few of the Fairy Level assassins also giggled softly, clearly agreeing with Zhang Bin’s words.
"You’re courting death!"
Enraged, S97 yelled frantically. A terrifying killing intent and a crushing pressure erupted from his body as he raised his battle-axe high, bringing it down viciously toward Zhang Bin’s neck.
WHOOSH...
The sound was piercing as a brilliant white light flashed from the axe. The killing aura was bone-chilling, causing many to shiver inwardly.
"So powerful! Grandfather, can Zhang Bin fend him off?" Zhang Xue’s palms were slick with nervous sweat.
"That rascal is as cunning as a fox and has plenty of tricks up his sleeve. Don’t worry about him," Zhang Hangkui consoled her without giving it much thought.
At this mont, not a single cultivator from China wanted to see Zhang Bin defeated. It wasn’t just about their morale; Zhang Bin was their leader, and he might have a way to deal with their perilous situation. If he were killed, they would undoubtedly et a tragic end today. It was possible none of them would survive.
Even a Mid-Nascent Soul stage expert like Master Xueyin was in the sa predicant. They were in the Earth Core and couldn’t use Earth Escape to flee upwards, not to ntion they would have to pass through the terrifying layer of magma. As for the passage they ca through, it had surely beco a deadly trap they could no longer enter.
"Die!" Zhang Bin roared, the sword in his hand thrusting out fiercely.
He was, of course, using the Sword Shatter Foe technique. Now that he had cultivated to the Golden Core Realm, his life force was condensed within him, and his explosive power had increased trendously. He had also used his Longevity Qi to stimulate the nervous system in his limbs. His speed was simply as fast as lightning.
SHINK!
There was a flash of cold light. Zhang Bin’s sword had already thrust out and been withdrawn.
anwhile, S97’s axe was still half a foot from his neck. That half a foot of distance beca an impassable chasm.
S97 felt a sharp pain in his forehead as his strength drained away. His vision went black, and his consciousness plunged into darkness.
CLANG!
The battle-axe fell from his hand.
A fountain of blood spurted from his forehead, so vivid it was eerily beautiful.
THUD.
S97’s tall body toppled backward onto the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust that spiraled slowly in the air.
